    Had to go back to pucks. Now ph low

    Long story short. My health has forced me to go back to pucks in a floating feeder. I can’t do the adding of liquid chlorine every 1 or 2 days unfortunately and a salt water chlorinator is not possible right now. So as expected the ph is low. Just checking with the pros if borax is the way to...

    Hayward EC40C925S. Strange Thing

    thank you Texas. So it sounds like the check valve is optional,and not everyone has one? I'm going to give the filter another try. I'll check it in a couple of weeks and see if any DE has attached to the fingers this time. I bought a dolphin e10 robot. hopefuly it will save my clear water...

    Hayward EC40C925S. Strange Thing

    Good morning! Happy Mothers Day! Love TFP! When I closed the pool last season I opened up the filter to put it away for the winter. The "fingers" had no DE attached to them at all. All the DE was laying at the bottom of the filter. So I figured I was running it for about a month with no DE...

    Dolphin E10 Review

    Should I add stabilizer?

    No organics. Pool kept squeaky clean. My only concern about not adding CYA before closing is I will bring up to shock level at closing and the chlorine will be high for quite some time. Last year when I opened FC was still at 4. Does the CYA in the water protect the pool liner?

    Should I add stabilizer?

    Hello pool perfect all season thanks to TFP!! Cya less than 30 could be zero. Who knows Pool not in sun all day so only had to add 10 to 20 ounces 12.5% liquid chlorine each day to keep FC around 5 over the summer. So really haven't thought about adding Stabalizer. Didn't want to mess with...
